Revolutionizing Clinical Trials with AI: RAG & LLM Automation
This study introduces a groundbreaking Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Model (LLM) framework for automated clinical trial data analysis and report generation. It integrates diverse data sources like EHRs and imaging, significantly improving efficiency and factual accuracy in real-time.

Hierarchical RAG & LLM Framework
This study introduces a multimodal, hierarchical RAG-LLM framework that integrates diverse clinical data. The pipeline first employs vector indexing to amalgamate modalities—text, images, and more—and then applies LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning to reinforce model alignment, suppressing hallucinations. The system ultimately auto-generates citation-rich clinical trial reports. This approach improves information-retrieval accuracy, ensures report-level consistency, and substantially reduces generation time.
Heterogeneous Data Harmonization
Clinical trial data in real-world settings are highly heterogeneous. Our system establishes a standardized multimodal preprocessing pipeline for ingesting images, CSVs, NHI billing records, and EHR extracts. It harmonizes column names, maps data to ICD-10 and LOINC vocabularies, and applies differential-privacy (DP)-based de-identification. Content is then chunked and embedded as vectors for accelerated indexing.
Robust Validation & Metrics
The framework was rigorously validated using metrics such as ROUGE-L for lexical overlap, BERTScore for semantic similarity, Med-Concept F1 for clinical concept coverage, and FactCC-Med for factual consistency. These were weighted into a Composite Quality Index (CQI). Our system achieved a CQI of 78.3, outperforming baselines like Med-PaLM 2 (72.6) and PMC-LLaMA (74.3).
PEFT & Reinforcement Learning
To optimize LLM performance and suppress hallucinations, we integrate Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) techniques, specifically LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) and QLoRA (Quantized LoRA). This adjusts only a small set of adapter matrices, cutting compute costs. Additionally, GRPO (Guided Reinforcement with Policy Optimization) applies multi-reward functions (readability, clinical accuracy, format consistency) for policy updating, significantly improving instruction adherence.

Real-World Impact: Pilot Deployment in Taiwanese Healthcare System
In a six-month pilot across three regional hospitals, clinicians revised only 9% ± 2% of sentences—compared with 35% ± 4% under the fully manual workflow (p < 0.01)—and the overall report turn-around time was substantially reduced. This demonstrates the practical feasibility of the framework to support fully automated clinical reporting and its successful integration into existing hospital information systems.
